About Gina

For as long as I can remember I have loved being around food, not just eating it but cooking with it too!

Flourless Chocolate Olive Oil Cake … this is not Flourless Chocolate Olive Oil Cake … this is not a large cake (it’s baked in a 20cm round cake tin), but it is rich, dark and dense and a small slice is just perfect.

Here I have served it with a raspberry coulis as I had some in the fridge, and a dollop of fresh cream. But I have also offered a recipe for a “Coffee Cream” in the post to serve with the cake too.

This version is nut free (I have used toasted sunflower seeds), but you can also use almonds if nuts are not an issue in your home.

The cake is also dairy free, is very quick to make, and gives you eight serves similar to what you see in the post here:

Marrakesh Carrots … this is a fabulous dish … Marrakesh Carrots … this is a fabulous dish … it is easy to make, and leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to three days.

I use a Thermomix to chop the carrots (it is quicker than trying to grate them), and I do like the chunky texture that gives me as opposed to “grating” which can sometimes make the carrot a little wet.

The dressing can be blended in a bowl if preferred, and the rest of the salad is prepared by hand so that I get plenty of texture.

This salad goes so well with just about any protein, and is a favourite in our home … with another hot spell fast approaching, this may be one that you would like to try:

Honey Cake – this cake is delicious just on its Honey Cake – this cake is delicious just on its own and does not need icing, but I do try to minimise waste, so when I have little bits of leftover icing from other bakes (in this case Caramel Icing from a Sticky Date Cake I made a month ago, and White Chocolate Icing from the cupcakes I made last week) I put the leftovers into small containers in the freezer … then I can often combine two or three (in this case the two icings I mentioned) which will give me enough for what I need. So last night I took the two icings from the freezer and placed them in the fridge, then this morning I removed them from the fridge and put them on my bench to allow them to come to room temperature, they were then combined and used to dress this cake. It is such a great way to use us icing “scrapes”, and no-one else is the wiser 

Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes with White Chocolate Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes with White Chocolate Icing … requested for our number 2 son’s birthday today … these are so easy to make, and keep well for a few days at room temperature … but if it is really warm in your home (so that the icing may melt) then I would keep them in the fridge but remove them at least 30 minutes before serving.

To make things super easy for me, I decided to use up some chocolate leftovers from Christmas, so topped the cupcakes with a packet of mini Cherry Ripe’s (one of my favourite), and Nespresso Dark Chocolate tablets (they are super yummy too!) xo

Recipes for both can be found here:

Happy birthday dear Sam … love having you in our lives xo
